really well informed take on aboriginal history with enlightening topics i, as an american, have never remotely heard of; some of which deeply shocking sections in the livestock section. i was able to draw lots of parallels on other nations and peoples like palestine, first nations and native americans, the mermaids of jeju. the author did a lot of grandstanding and circled back to hammer in platitudes which felt a bit like a research paper, but if you read this over the course of a month+ that would have been harmless.
